~ an irreverent look at UK politics

Police have launched a large-scale operation including sniffer dogs and up to 30 officers to search for 400,000 missing immigrants from Bulgaria and Romania.

The immigrants were last seen boarding planes in their hundreds of thousands on the front pages of the Daily Mail and Daily Express newspapers in the early hours of Wednesday morning but authorities say there has been no sign of any of the immigrants for the last two days.

Police have made detailed searches in the vicinity of Heathrow and Gatwick airports with officers making house-to-house inquiries in various locations around the country and alerts have been placed at all entry points into the UK for authorities to keep a look out for the missing eastern Europeans.

Authorities are concerned for the safety of the immigrants, 400,000 of whom had been expected to turn up on Nigel Farage’s doorstep, wearing scarves on their heads, old trousers tucked into Wellington boots and knitted shawls around their shoulders, demanding benefits and buckets of straw to feed their horses.

Police have renewed their appeal for anyone who may have any information regarding the immigrants’ whereabouts to come forward.

I took 2 and a half UK IT jobs. 😀
Actually I got a job at HP. They fired 5 brits to hire 2 romanians. In Romania. I’m one of them. We’re doing fine. Apparently our english contacts are happy with our work. And since I also speak french and my coworker speaks german so are our german and french counterparts.

And the same was done by IBM and a lot of other companies. And not only in IT. Oil industry did the same, confections and electronics. Car part manufacturers. Etc …

UK lost more jobs due to outsourcing than to immigrants. You want to get jobs – start lobbying for UK made products with more than 75% produced in UK ! And not just on the label. Try to bully your politicians into supporting this.

I know only 3 romanians who went to UK. All have their own businesses. In constructions , dental care and IT. And they are creating jobs. In Glasgow, Portsmouth and somewhere near Nottingham.

Do you know of the press hysteria in Romania when the UK citizens were allowed in ? Some of the press wrote :” we will be invaded by pedofiles and sex deviants” . Guess they were wrong.

Rosu – Interesting comment. Perhaps it’s an example of how Brits need to learn more languages.
BTW, have you got a link to a Romanian article which said that about Romania being invaded by British paedophiles and sex deviants (or was it a joke?)?
